Small honey bee population is one of the two Iranian species living in the south areas of Iran, and plays important role in pollination of plants in these areas. The present study was aimed to study genetic diversity in populations of Iranian small honey bees. For this purpose, 300 worker bees were selected from 29 colonies that belong to seven districts in southern Iran, and morphological traits were measured. Colony grouping was studied based on morphological traits using cluster analysis (PCA) and the least variance method. The result indicated that there was a correlation between the length of trunk with front wing length and posterior wing length, and between Cubital index with front wing length (P
